Nixon Defends Cambodian Action in TV Panel
President Nixon argued for prompt military action and congressional limits, saying 430,000 troops give him responsibility while critics like Cooper Church push for broader oversight. He warned delaying authorization could cost American lives and urged continued U S involvement until South Vietnam can defend itself. The talk then shifted to the Middle East as a rising danger.
